Album is good, even if I'm not that much into funeral doom.
Also, since BitterCOld, caught the literary referencies, I'll add that the cover is a painting from the Romantic French painter Theodore Gericault, called The raft of the Medusa, with the story behind this being similar to the one already told by the reviewer. |

Along with Yob's "Great Cessation", "Divinity of Oceans" is the best doom album I listened lately. Clearly deserves a 9.
About the review, I like the way you write, it's very fluid and nice to read. The metaphor you used to define the music "Tombstone Carousal" was brilliant. Keep them coming  |
|
|
|
I really enjoyed this and agree its an improvement from their last. I know nothing of doom, but this album makes me feel like ive been listening to it all along..  |
|
|
|
Sounds interesting. I was never too into doom, but I'd like to check this out  |
|
|

As many people know, I'm not very much into doom metal, so obviously I don't know a shit about funeral doom, but I listened to some samples they have on myspace and I really liked their stuff  seems like I've been missing very good material out there, It feels so good when you discover something new. |

Well, the best thing with Doom is that there are a lot of subgenres of it. So you have indeed missed a lot of different stuff. But we will take care of you 
Welcome to the doomed family |

@Bitter
Nice review. Due to holidays and whatnot I haven't been able to fully drench myself in this album, but it does sound at least as good as The Call. |

But wouldn't that be a difficult start? It's not like the dude has to start with My Dying Bride, but most of the albums in the list are difficult to get into o.o
But yeah... If one person don't get the stuff from your list, then he's/she's not a doomer |

@Mr.Doctor: Then that means I will give it a try for sure
@Lucas: I once read your article and made me feel curious about those albums, I've heard only "Ordo Ad Chao" from your list, and I love it so, I guess I'll listen to more of your sick stuff.
Thanks! |

This is truely a masterpiece , loved it even more than their debut

"Redemption Lost" just gives me the chils
nice review |

|
| Yup it's a masterpiece....the doom/gothic genre made me into metalhead in first place and this album just proof my point of view ....and i think they will compete well with shape of despair in this genre. |

I'm sorry, but I fail to compare Shape Of Despair with Ahab and I can't see a trace of gothic in Ahab's music. |

More or less the answer I wanted to give. But I also don't see a trace of gothic in Shape Of Despair's music. |

Maybe he was just saying that Doom AND Gothic got him into metal and not that AhabSahpe of despair are Gothic
but I do agree that there is no room for comparement between the two bands , cuz each one of them has it's own style of Funeral doom |

|
| Great theme. The tale of the Essex was the main story which inspired Moby Dick. The true test is to come up with a 3rd Nautik theme for another album! |
|
|
|
| Actually i like it more than The Call Of The Wretched Sea, 9/10 my favorite song redemption lost |

incidentally, i made a point of checking out the painting at the Louvre last fall. really glad i did... although navigating the museum on almost no sleep and just fueled by coffee and adrenaline was a tad difficult. |

Me? Sure. Russian Studies. lots of good literature. But the Mrs got a degree in Art History before earning a Masters in Education. She loves art, i love specific bits of it. Romanticism being one of those i like for the expressiveness. this piece has a great range of emotions from the despondent and dying at the bottom of the raft to the overjoyed at the top of the pyramid... The Louvre was my favorite art museum we hit thanks to the amazing range of content... as opposed to some of those in, say, Florence, who had a laser-like focus. |

If I'm not mistaken, he changed his username as a way of mocking the current wave of doctors in MS. |

I've heard Redemption Lost several times before, but I only checked out the whole album yesterday. Awesome, as you said, and the flowing of the whole music is just kickass. As I listened, I didn't notice that the tracks changed; They're all linked together in one way or another!  |

Can't get enough of Ahab my thoughts about this album never changed since the day I wrote those words and maybe I love it now even more |
